Improve the ministry of your deacons with this important tool which includes many practical ideas and suggestions for implementing the ministry of the New Testament deacons and encourages deacons to develop a compassionate heart for the needy. This is a companion study, designed to be used with The New Testament Deacon text.
A clear, solid introduction to the office and role of a deacon. Two points stuck out. First, he does a good job exegeting Acts 6, which many deny is the beginning of the diaconate. I think he proves his point that this passage at the very least is the seed of the diaconate. Second, the way he compares and contrasts deacons and elders is helpful. As an elder I grew in appreciation for my office, but also for the office of deacon.
